what i do
make content
entertainment on my own channels, UGC for brands. watch the brand work or see my media kit.
build creator programs
through GigMax, we source, train, and place creators directly into your business. you get a program your team owns.
help with the strategy
i advise brands and creators on content and human-first marketing. i’m especially interested in where the creator economy goes as AI fills our feeds.
why me
i test this stuff on myself
my blind dating show hit 57k+ subscribers and 20M views off ~14 YouTube videos. a separate series brought in 300k+ TikTok followers in 7 days.
i’ve been on both sides
i used UGC to fund my own creator journey, then started helping businesses find and work with creators. i know what it’s like to make the video and be responsible for the campaign.
product + marketing + creator experience
i studied CS, ran an agency, and went full-time into content. i’m obsessed with how those pieces fit together.
who i work with
- consumer app and startup founders bringing UGC in-house.
- brands that need creators to become the face of their product.
- creators figuring out content strategy and brand deals.
a little background
started on YouTube at 12 making gaming videos. grew Instagram theme pages, wrote The Social Media Specialist at 18, and built Mysterious Media to help pay for college.
after UT Austin, i worked at P&G for nine months, saved enough to buy myself time, and quit to make videos.
how we’d work together
email me your product, what you need, and your timeline. i answer every message under 300 characters with a clear ask.
from there, we figure out scope, pricing, who’s involved, and how we’ll communicate before starting.
